blessing. How do we benefit from
the Bible? |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
11/27/11 |

Ruth 3:1-11 |
Our Kinsman-Redeemer.

Have you ever been pursued with
fierce love? |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
10/2/11 |
Ruth 2:1-23 |
Things don't just Happen;
They're Planned.
Is the universe ultimately a

planned them? |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
9/25/11 |

Philippians: The Path to Joy and
Peace. |

strive and reach toward the
goal. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |

question in these two short but
powerful verses... |

6/26/11 |
Phil 2:5-11 |
Jesus is Lord.
After we consider the
humiliation and exaltation of
the Son of God, His creation
realizes that Jesus is Lord, and
that there is no room for even
an ounce of pride to dwell in
our hearts. Consider His
example... |

Mark: Living as an Authentic
Disciple of Jesus Christ. |
Mk 16.1-8 |
THIS Changes Everything!
There have been many promises of
great change over the course of
human history only to leave us
disappointed. But if someone
comes along who claims to be the
son of God and actually rises
from the dead, well then that
actually would change
everything! |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
4/22/11 |
Mk 15.33-47 |
My God, My God, Why Have you
Forsaken Me?
We may never fully understand
what Jesus Christ meant by

on the cross. Why was He
forsaken? Listen to the story of
the death of God's Son... |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
4/17/11 |
Mk 15.16-32 |
The Cross and the Public Eye.
Did you hear about the church
who took the cross down from
their building? To the public

members), the cross is an
offensive and shameful
symbol...but what do you think? |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
4/10/11 |
Mk 15.1-15 |
Look at What Should Have
Happened to Me!
When we read the story of the

been us who suffered. Praise Him
for rescuing us from the
consequences of our sin. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
4/3/11 |
Mk 14.43-72 |
Rejected.
If you are facing a time where
you feel rejected for any

know true acceptance. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |

|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |

Mk 14.12-25 |
The Last Supper.
The institution of the Lord's
supper was given by Christ at

Egypt, Jesus changes the script
to point toward an even greater
redemption. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
3/13/11 |
Mk 14.1-11 |

Special Valentine's Day Message. |
1 Cor 13:1-13 |
What is Love?
Are you looking for love?
Hollywood, Cupid and our
self-centered society have

much that it is difficult to
discern the true meaning. Let's
listen carefully to the way God
defines love in the Bible. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
2/6/11 |
Mark: Living as an Authentic
Disciple of Jesus Christ. |

everything? What if God saw that
you are holding nothing back? |

situation in front of you right
now? Listen for four
mountain-moving principles of
prayer. |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
1/16/11 |
Mk 11.12-20 |
Authentic Worship.
What does God want from you on
Sunday mornings? Is worship a
warm feeling we experience when
singing our favorite hymn, or
could there be something more
required of you? |

Disciple of Jesus Christ. |
Mk 11.1-11 |

rejected Jesus? Why not embrace
Him? Would you have accepted
Him? Listen, as I believe we are
a lot more like them than we
realize. |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
12/19/10 |
Jn 1:1-14 |
The Promise:
What kind of destructive words
do you tell yourself? What kind
of lies do you believe about
you? The Word became flesh to
show you what could be true. All
who receive Him experience the
promise of God's love through
eternal sonship. |

son, Jesus Christ. |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
12/12/10 |
Mark: Living as an Authentic
Disciple of Jesus Christ. |
Mk 10:46-52 |
Eureka!
What if God were to ask you,
"What do you want me to do for

Wait, before you respond, please
think it through very carefully
because the wrong answer will
cost you. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
12/5/10 |
Mk 10:32-45 |

Mk 10:13-31 |
Lessons from Kindergarten.
Jesus said, "Truly, I tell you I
tell you the truth, anyone who
will not receive the kingdom of
God like a little child will
never enter it." But what can an
adult really learn from a little
child? Listen and learn what
Jesus meant by this rich
metaphor. |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
11/14/10 |

message by one of our own
elders: Moses Kaduyu. |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
10/31/10 |
Mark: Living as an Authentic
Disciple of Jesus Christ. |
Mk 9:38-50 |
Can You Please Pass the Salt?
Jesus explains what life will be
like around "the dinner table"
together with his followers.
With whom should we pursue
fellowship and unity? Who is
invited? Against whom should we
take a stand? |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
10/24/10 |

10/17/10 |
Mk 9:14-29 |
I Do Believe; Help Me Overcome
My Unbelief!

10/3/10 |
Mk 8:26-38 |
The Gospel According to Jesus.
If you go into the average
bookstore you will find many
book titles beginning with the
words, "The Gospel According
to..." But what is the gospel
according to "Jesus"? After all,
that is the one we need to
know. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
9/26/10 |
Mk 8:11-25 |
See Christ Clearly!
Physical blindness is a metaphor
to describe our inability to
understand spiritual truth.
Listen to hear how Christ moves
us from partial sight to to
perfect sight. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
9/19/10 |
Mk 7:31-8:10 |
These People Too!
Have you noticed as social
beings we tend to naturally
gravitate toward people just
like us. Could we be missing
something of God's heart for the
world? |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
9/5/10 |
Mk 7:1-23 |
Looks can be Deceiving.
Have you noticed any legalism,
hypocrisy or self-righteousness
in the church lately? Listen and
learn how Jesus expects us to
both address and avoid this
behavioral trap in our own
hearts. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
8/29/10 |
Mk 6:45-56 |
Take Courage. I AM!

Mk 6:32-44 |
Everything I need for THEM, I
get from HIM.
Have you ever been emotionally
exhausted? Burnt-out? Have you
ever sensed a real scarcity when
you see all the needs set before
you? Perhaps you don't think
what you have to offer will be
"enough." Listen to how Christ
calls you to rely on Him. |

proximity to the truth yet be so
far from living it out. |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
7/11/10 |
Mk 5:21-43 |
Don't Stop Believin'. From

should we respond in the
meantime? |

Pastor Dave Hentschel |
7/4/10 |
Mk 5:1-20 |

Mark: Living as an Authentic
Disciple of Jesus Christ. |
Mk 4:35-41 |
Faith in the Storm.
Often when we face difficulties
we wonder if God cares. We panic
with anxiety and fear. It is as
if Christ in us but is
"sleeping." We must "arouse" Him
within us so that He can bring
about peace. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
6/6/10 |
Mk 4:21-34 |
Kingdom Living.
What will life be like in Jesus'
new kingdom? Listen as Christ
describes His kingdom with four
rich and imaginative parables. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
5/30/10 |
Mk 4:1-20 |
The Parable of the Soils.
Why is it that the message of
the kingdom is accepted by some
yet rejected by others? Listen
to Jesus' answer this puzzling
question - if you have ears to
hear. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
5/23/10 |
Mk 3:20-35 |
Whose side are you on?
Certain choices in life are
black and white. There is no
middle ground and no legitimate
position of neutrality. Here
Jesus teaches that there are
only two families and only two
kinds of sin: pardonable or
unpardonable. |
|
Pastor Dave Hentschel |
5/16/10 |
Mk 3:7-19 |
All the King's Men.
Just like us, the disciples were
failures until one day they were
